Which one do you think is the bug? They both sound correct to me. I suspect that since OS X uses plain \r as the end of line sequence, if you snarf multiple lines in some native application then you'll get something like hello\rworld. Pasting that into Plan 9 *should* produce hello\nworld, since \n is the Plan 9 end of line sequence. In X11, it is assumed (perhaps incorrectly) that the X11 server is already doing that translation. Similarly, in Windows, the snarf buffer rewrites \r\n into plain \n. In all cases the goal is to make it so that if you copy multiple lines out of a native application and paste them into Plan 9, you get multiple lines separated only by \n. It is definitely possible that the code is not managing to do this, but your report doesn't make that clear. Russ
